I just had a manic episode and my family/friends say I wasn't mean, just very selfish. My behaviour embarrasses me and I feel I have a few apologies to give. For example my parents took me out on day leave and took me for drives when agitated but I took over their stereo and ranted about each song. Never asked how they were or what they would like to listen to. My Mum says I was obsessed about music to an extreme degree.
